A simple pattern this week, but what's nice about it (I think), when you use it for (machine) quilting you can embroider it in one continuous line :)

I love how well this blackwork pattern transformed into a "curvier" one :)

A floral motif, to brighten up a whole-cloth quilt perhaps? :)

Free-hand Embroidery/Quilting Pattern
I've been awfully lazy again, this one too is based on a blackwork embroidery pattern (this one, to be exact). But I'm actually quite happy with how they turn out, so I doubt this was the last time... ;)

For some reason this pattern reminds me of Custard Creams? lol
So now I'm starting to feel peckish... ;)

Something I Made :)
Hello everyone,
One of my plans for this year is to actually make use of some of my patterns. To be honest, I made this particular one sometime last year, but I intend to do more of them in 2015.
You can find the original pattern here.
It's a very easy design and I found it to be quite useful to practise embroidery stitches on :)
The stitches I used are (from left to right):
- Hungarian braided chain stitch
- Chain stitch
- Stem stitch
- Back stitch
The red and purple ovals were done in satin stitch
(Edit: Another way to do a chain stitch (which I find easier to do), can be found here. This site is called Sublime Stitching, and is great too. Very fresh and modern-looking.)
All these links lead to the wonderful site, Needle 'n Thread, of the even more wonderful Mary Corbet (and no, she is not paying me to say that lol). If you're unfamiliar with her and her tutorials, and love embroidery, boy, are you in for a treat! :)
And if you already know how to do every single embroidery stitch known to man, there's loads of eye candy to drool over as well.
So go forth and enjoy :)

They look a bit like tulips, so perfect for a Dutch-themed quilt, I guess? :)

Free-hand Embroidery: Frame/Border (and Fill) Elements Pattern
Please click any image to enlarge
This pattern is based on this blackwork pattern.
The small and large elements can be used together as long as they are printed at the same scale, just mix and match however you like.
Have fun :)
